The Association Football AFL thread

[chef]

I was at the game last night and as a neutral there were plenty of suspect decisions that went Richmond's way as well, pretty poorly umpired game all round.

Agree. Nice to get a 2 eyed opinion.

 

[Gosha]

It's not though. He hates Richmond.

 

[chef]

It's not though. He hates Richmond.

Why?

 

[chef]

How about the blatant throw from Lambert that resulted in a Riewoldt goal with under a minute left? Took about 10 steps and had plenty of time to dispose of it correctly ? Are we just going to ignore that? Even Richo said you got away with one there.

Yeah, the bad decisions went both wsys and luckily didnt affect the result.

 

[Cadillac]

absolute throw and should of been penalised. but then there was 30 throws that the dogs got away with as well as dusty getting legged and you guys getting a goal from it. then one ump calls play on when astbury and suckling are holding each other yet the ump 60m away runs in to give the dogs a free

We got away with 30 throws?.. that's compete BS, and you know it. Umpires were shit all night both ways. You can't come into this thread and say we were gifted a win when you were gifted an absolute howler of a goal that kept you in it with under two minutes left, that got you within 4 points.

And if the umpires really wanted us to win, then why didn't they pay that mark to Tom Boyd that gets given 80% of the time in modern day footy? Just take your medicine mate.

Just because I said you hadn't beaten anyone good? Was just a fact, and you still haven't.

No because you go for Carlton.

lol that doesn't mean I can't be impartial. I hate Collingwood, Essendon and Geelong, I just find Richmond amusing.

Lol thanks for proving my point - so predictable. Your opinion on Richmond is obvious so I don't know how you expect anyone to take you seriously, especially when there are undertones of trolling in your comments.

The joke is on chef though because he thought your post was genuine.

Nah mate the only team I troll on here is Spurs

Take my post how you want, that's what my honest opinion on the game was. Umpiring favored the Tigs in the first half IMO and they evened it up a bit in the second. With the possible exception of the deliberate call late on (which looked like a good call live but in hindsight with slo-mo looks rough) the umps didn't decide the game, the Dogs were just better than you when it counted.

I just don't think your opinion can retain any credibility after you just made it obvious you hold Richmond in such low regard. Even if you're being honest I think your judgment is significantly compromised by the fact you consider us "amusing".

But anyway, congrats Dogs... campaigners lol

And yours can because considering you are a Richmond fan? At least I'm not a supporter of one of the two teams involved so my opinion will clearly be less biased than yours.

Plus who doesn't find Richmond amusing? If that's a disclaimer for lacking credibility then 99% of footy fans in Australia have none

I never said mine is. This conversation has stemmed from chef saying your opinion on the matter is balanced when it clearly isn't.

And lol. This is all so rich coming from a Carlton supporter. I know you've all got your tails up after beating a bottom four side yesterday, but spare me your heroics.

 

[Magma]

this dangerous tackle nonsense needs to be sorted out.

 

[Gosha]

Lol here's another one. How much did we beat you by again?

 

[elhadjihenry]

Oh you aren't seriously giving it to me about a team's supporters being up and about for beating crap teams???!! LOL the irony.

To be fair, I don't think either of us are in a position to throw shit, but here we are lol

See where you are after the GWS game. Win that and I'll start thinking you are the real deal.

Not holding my breath.

Was it you that was convinced by Port Adelaide?

 

[jd2010]

We are a bottom 4 side and know it. Concerning if you didn't beat us.

 

[jd2010]

Unlike you Gosha we can look at the game with both eyes open. And with those two eyes we know we are a bottom 4 side and know that Richmond aren't a top 6 side and weren't robbed last night

 

[Gosha]

We are a bottom 4 side and know it. Concerning if you didn't beat us.

Richmond were widely tipped to be bottom four at the start of the season as well. Rubbish excuse.

No idea how? No worse than you were the year before

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Was wondering why I didn't see Spudford yesterday. 2-3 knee soreness omissions by R7 must be a little concerning.
